This book initiates a fresh discussion of affordability in rural
housing set in the context of the rapidly shifting balance between
rural and urban populations. It conceptualises affordability in
rural housing along a spectrum that is interlaced with cultural and
social values integral to rural livelihoods at both personal and
community level. Developed around four intersecting themes:
explaining houses and housing in rural settings; exploring
affordability in the context of aspirations and vulnerability;
rural development agendas involving housing and communities; and
construction for resilience in rural communities, the book provides
an overview of some of the little understood and sometimes
counter-intuitive best practices on rural affordability and
affordable housing that have emerged in developing economies over
the last thirty years. Drawing on practice-based evidence this book
presents innovative ideas for harnessing rural potential, and
empowering rural communities with added affordability and
progressive development in the context of housing and improved
living standards. For a student aspiring to work in rural areas in
developing countries it is an introduction to and map of some key
solutions around the critical area of affordable housing For the
rural development professional, it provides a map of a territory
they rarely see because they are absorbed in a particular rural
area or project For the academic looking to expand their activities
into rural areas, especially in rural housing, it provides a handy
introduction to a body of knowledge serving 47% of the world's
population, and how this differs from urban practice For the policy
makers, it provides a map for understanding the dynamics around
rural affordability, growth potential and community aspirations
helping them to devise appropriate intervention programs on rural
housing and development
